The "bloke" on his backhand is Matt Wilkinson. If you watch his wave at around 2:30, I'd say thats far from struggling, albeit he was a bit wonky on the first wave which is understandable considering the transitioning between craft.

Jordy did indeed look very natural.

If you want to see good twinnie surfing, just watch Asher, he's sublime.

The moving finger writes and having writ moves on ... now all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel even half a line ... nor all thy tears wash out a single word of it.

That was awesome. That's really the type of wave for a fish. Same as fast breaking beachies with a bit of length to the ride. I'll spend the next week pining for a mcneill now!. Worth having one IMHO

You had a go on one hatchy? A keel fish? You'd love the drive and carve

I've had a couple of goes on a keel twin. Not really my thing to be honest. I prefer twins with more upright fins on boards that are shaped more like a standard shorty, and surf much like a thruster (go vert) but surf faster and looser than a thruster. Which is pretty much exactly what I'm riding at the moment. Reckon the MR super twin would be a good board.

For the down-the-line I prefer singles, and the lines they draw and the way singles sit in the pocket.

I put those MR fins in my new shorty, didn't really like them. Stuck the Large AM thrusters back in.
Worth a shot.
Good news is, I've got a nice set of fins in the bucket. May need to save some dollars for a swallowtailed flyer twin.

i'm wanting to experiment with a different technique and materials based around a swallow tailed twinny design - can do you a pretty cheap one if you want to be a guinea pig!

Honestly mate you'd be better off with a better pilot. Thanks for the offer though.

Still stinging for a twinny.

Been frothin over the MR site. The retro 1980 model in a 5'10 would be pretty nice to have in the quiver.

What's everyone's thoughts on foam? If my normal shorty is 6'0 x 19.6 x 2.52 31.3L. Should I get a board with similar foam, a little more or a little less? I called dripping wet that stock MR's boards in sydney. The 5'10 x 20 x 2 5/8 comes in at around 34L (and $1000 which is a bit steep for a board with a wet rub). It would be nice in weaker surf, and nice to have a board with a little more foam on surf trips when your arms are f#@ked after day 5 and you need a bit of help in the paddle department.

Been keen on twinnies for years. Made the mistake of selling the 6'2 M10 Hogfish tuflite i had in 2009. The 5'11 firewire El fuego I have is great, but would like something that was built specifically to be a twin.
